Simply turn off the volume button. Here are some related introductions about dash cams: 1. A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. 2. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process of the car, including video images and sounds, which can provide evidence for traffic accidents. 3. If you enjoy self-driving tours, it can be used to document the process of overcoming difficult and dangerous situations. 4. While driving, it continuously records videos, simultaneously logging time, speed, and location in the recording, functioning like a "black box." 5. It can serve as a parking monitor. Once installed, the video footage must not be edited; if edited, it cannot provide assistance in the event of a liability accident.
Turning off the recording function of a dashcam is actually quite a common operation. I've used several brands of dashcams and found that the methods are similar but differ in details. The most universal way is to enter the settings menu through the physical buttons or touchscreen on the dashcam, find the recording option, and turn it off. For example, with mine, you long-press the right button to enter the menu, swipe to the recording settings, and toggle it to the off position. Newly purchased dashcams might support remote control via a mobile app, allowing you to disable it with one click after connecting via Bluetooth. Remember to ensure the car is parked when performing these operations to avoid distraction. Considering privacy concerns, turning off the recording is important, such as when you don't want private conversations in the car to be recorded. However, note that if an accident occurs after turning it off, you might lack backup evidence.
